According to information provided by IndyKaila News, Saudi Arabian giants Al Ittihad are considering a potential move for Manchester United midfielder Casemiro.
The Brazilian international, who joined United from Real Madrid in the summer of 2022, could soon find himself at the center of another major transfer story as the Saudi Pro League continues its push to attract big name players.
Casemiro has been an integral figure since his arrival at Old Trafford, bringing stability and leadership to United’s midfield during a period of transition for the club.

Although he is not the same player he once was during his Real Madrid days, his presence in the midfield is still crucial for the Red Devils. He helped them reach the Europa League final last season.
Al Ittihad see him as the ideal candidate to strengthen their midfield options and further raise the profile of the Saudi league.
The Brazilian has been linked with a move to the Middle East in the past but United have decided to keep him at the club due to his leadership and experience.
For Al Ittihad, who are eager to compete domestically and on the Asian stage, signing a player of his pedigree could make an immediate impact.

On the other, United are in the midst of reshaping their squad under Ruben Amorim.
It all depends on the financial package that the Saudi side will offer to United. If it is an attractive offer, United may look to cash in on the 33-year-old, who has already played the best football of his career.
A report from The Times described Man United’s Brazilian midfielder as ‘undroppable‘ under Amorim.
